RØDECaster Pro II and Duo Firmware Update: Introducing Virtual Devices

[@ThomasPaste]

I've been experimenting with the new virtual faders on my Roadcaster, and I've come across a key issue that I think needs addressing. As far as I can tell, these new virtual faders are only operating in PFL (Pre-Fade Listen) mode, meaning they only affect the monitor mix that i hear. The problem is, there's no option to set them to POST, which would affect the actual mix going into OBS (or any other streaming/recording software). So, no matter how I adjust the virtual faders, it doesn't impact the final mix my viewers/listeners get.

Has there been any update to this?

[@JuanTalkPH]

I hope on the next update you will add a different profile for each setting so that we can design our own choice of settings each profile, it is so annoying to re assign each faders everytime i want to change the settings on my rodecaster

[@SLSMusic]

Amazing new feature. Hope it can also work on Mac system. And here's another thing I wish RØDE can take into consideration, which is a simple fade in/out function on "Sound" for SMART pads. When you choose to play an background music by using the pads in "Continue" mode, every time we pause and resume it just come in suddenly. If it can add a little bit fade in/out that would be absolutely perfect.

[@rodemic]

Thank you for the suggestion! I will be sure to pass this on to the team 😊

[@ChrisCherry]

💯 % agree

[@curtisjudd]

Sweet 👍 Love to see how the RCPII keeps getting new features.

[@mhty5]

This is amazing! Have been waiting a long time for this, glad we're finally able to unlock more of the RODECaster's potential. Something I'd love to see is more Smart-pad functionality. Being able to toggle simple routing would make the device so much more powerful. You could toggle media-sharing if someone wants to quickly hear what you're watching/listening to, or continue listening to your music, but turn it off for the stream. I also run my VR microphone through the RODECaster. Originally I used one of the virtual channels for this, but this left me unable to use voice effects. I'd love to see virtual input/output effects, as this could also allow us to set up toggleable music EQ-profiles, or apply voice effects to friends in a call. Keep up the great work, I'm loving all my RODE stands, arms, microphones, mixers and headphones!

[@rodemic]

Appreciate the suggestion!

[@anilujahpodcast]

Absolute game changer. Allowing us to input audio channels into OBS without having to install stuff like AISO4ALL is great. Loving the new features!

[@Couch_Campers]

Do you know if when using the virtual channel software through rode if you need the asio software from rodes website and the asio software for obs as well or does the virtual channel software replace that old way of doing things?

[@LordSaliss]

Finally! I have been waiting for this for over a year now. Glad to see this promise finally delivered. I am going to go order it now since this is what I have been waiting on.

[@Zelakto]

@@rodemic Don't forget about Linux! This would be the only mixer in the game that would be able to do this, and Linux is gaining a lot of popularity right now. Audio in general is the one reason I haven't fully switched yet.

[@Joshimuz]

wow I was literally just looking at mixers and loved the Caster Pro II... apart from the lack of Virtual Devices. Without that it's a deal breaker for me... I'm so glad I found out that you just added them a week ago! It's back to the top of my list of ones to get my hands on!

[@teosavoldi]

Rode should give the possibility to load VST plugins on the console because the few effects present are not enough (for example, an expander is missing). I also believe that if RØDE made a library of downloadable and installable VSTs available on Rodecaster it could make a lot of income from the sale. :-)

[@Aunique-q2p]

Finally!! True evolution to make this device the one stop shop for everything ..and it only took 2+ years of development.. better late then never I reckon

[@LoneBeastYT]

while definitely useful, for someone who uses a dual pc setup and already has 4 faders set to devices. i wish we can have fader profile toggles with the smart pads so that we can quick select between software (virtual faders) and hardware or a mix of whatever permutation desirable. so i can control both virtual and hardware faders with only a couple of taps away instead of reassigning the fader each time

[@rodemic]

[@ayebrian]

Perfect timing! I was going to ditch rodecaster duo for the beacn studio. Now I feel like this is my type of product to keep now. Thank you Rode!

[@rodemic]

Phew!

[@ayebrian]

​@@rodemic I loved the product overall and it's great I can pair the wireless mic to it for VR sessions. Keep up the good work! I'm sure there's more features people love to see on the rodecaster duo. I know for sure I would love to see more options to scroll the virtual channels on screen with the green dial/knob. And it's pressable. So it be nice to customize that or add a midi function to change from monitor output to stream output. That way it's easier to adjust the volume with the press of a button (monitor and stream output). 😅 Please please please and thank you.

[@Xobi9]

Im still going to give the Beacn studio a go, I'm not quite sure its working as intended at the minute? I cant control the faders in OBS to adjust the stream volume, it only adjusts the monitring volume! I'm hoping this a bug, as its a pretty big deal for my dual PC set up.

[@EagleGarrett]

IT'S FINALLY HERE!! This has just made the RCPII the best audio device for streamers on the market!

[@itsnotmedylan]

this is going to sway me to the Rodecaster now. Thank you!

[@thephotoelite]

So if I understand what you're saying at 4:33 only channels you have assigned to faders will be active and shown on the computer as outputs? I need all channels "active" and even the big pro2 only has so many faders nevermind the smaller Duo. It's virtual channels, there's no reason why all the channels can't be "active" on the PC when things like voicemeter and your own Unify software can do it. Please correct me if I'm wrong here because more than anything I'd like to be wrong about this.

[@rodemic]

That is correct, only the virtual channels assigned to a fader will appear as available options. Having virtual channels not assigned to a fader will de-clutter and streamline all your available options to make it easier for the user to select 😄

[@Milhouz]

@@rodemic Can we please get an option to have this NOT be the case? I'd much prefer having all channels available even if they aren't assigned to a fader, or two enable more virtual faders and allow us to scroll on the interface horizontally?

[@GamingWithPersona]

This is HIGHLY needed! Thanks, Rode!

[@GypsyStacker]

These are some very useful and awesome upgrades! Excited to start using them! Thank you.

One thing I absolutely love about the RCP2 is that you don't really need any software to make it work - being able to just plug it into any computer and have it instantly work as you expect without having to fiddle with driver/app installs is amazing. That's why this feature (while great) is a bit of a "regression" in my opinion since you need the drivers to get this to work as described in this video. I realize this is something that's probably required because of the way the hardware is set up in the RCP2, hopefully any future RCP3 will be designed from the start to be as plug-and-play as possible.

[@BrianMackey2010]

""a bit of a "regression" in my opinion since you need the drivers to get this to work as described in this video''' Isn't that more of the Windows or mac issue?

@BrianMackey2010 Good question, I'm not sure. My point was that for USB1 the separation between the "main" and the "chat" channels is done transparently - you just plug the cable and you get two "devices" you can use without any extra software. It would be great if the new channels worked the same, but I doubt they can on the RCP2. That is why I said my hope is that Rode take this into consideration on any potential new revisions of the RCP.

[@BrianMackey2010]

Man the renaming of the devices in the channels sent my OBS into Lala land LOL I hear ya on the plug and play ~~

[@VIGGaming1]

Where is the link for the drivers in order to get this to work?? they mentioned its listed in the video description but it isn't there.

[@rodemic]

Hey, you will need to sign up to the RØDECaster Beta Program and this will be delivered to you via email.

[@AugustSixth]

BIG ISSUE WITH THIS UPDATE: When using OBS (i assume most streamers waiting for this update are) once you assign all the virutal channels to output into OBS you'll notice that it does not matter would you set the physical faders to on the Rodecaster. Every Virtual output will send the audio 100% to OBS no matter what the physical device is set to. I am not sure if this is a Bug or working as intended, however that means we need to adjust each output level inside OBS and the physical faders only affect what we hear on our side. Pretty bummed..

[@rodemic]

We'd suggest providing this feedback to our development team via the Beta Testers form: tinyurl.com/yt25xvac

[@ninbura]

Just to clarify, this only adds additional output devices on Windows, not input devices? I was hoping to get another input on USB 1 so I could pull the Bluetooth signal into OBS. Right now I'm using the main input to bring in my game PC audio from USB 2, and the chat input to bring in my mic. So, I'm out of inputs.

[@rodemic]

That's correct - Virtual devices are essentially used to give you full volume control of your software applications via the faders on the interface 😊 I'd recommend using Multitrack for your setup, check out the Multitrack segment of the user guide! rode.com/en/user-guides/rodecaster-pro-ii/recording-and-exporting-audio

[@twistedjourney]

So excited for this update! Please for another update request would be to allow devices that connect Bluetooth like the DJI Mic 2 to connect, it attempts to pair every time but will automatically disappear and unpair. And a second usb out to have the same features as usb1. More than one bluetooth device connected like 4 - 6 max connected. Possibly add 3 more virtual faders. Plus Mac support as well!

[@rodemic]

Thanks for your feedback! If you are experiencing any pairing issues, I'd recommend reaching out to support and they will be able to look into this for you. Also, you can now use virtual devices with Mac!

[@MedikationYT]

Exciting! I was just thinking that I would like to separate out the outputs from my computer and voila! Thank you rode!

[@rodemic]

Perfect timing!

[@bene1205]

Looking forward to this update. More usb outputs from the rodecaster, and an option for an expander instead of a noise gate would still be appreciated though. Kindest regards

[@BambooBOB69]

Wow, just thinking about purchasing a virtual cable now I don’t need to. I’m glad I chose the rodeCastcaster pro 2 instead of the duo cause now the extra faders will come in handy.

[@EdoZ-cs6yb]

Wrong. In the rode cast duo you can use the other faders on the screen with the knob. You have 4 physical fader and extra 3 fader on the screen = 7 faders-

[@titaniumben9923]

​@@EdoZ-cs6ybit's not wrong to say it has more physical faders, and the rcp2 has more faders overall if you include the 3 virtual ones, 9 faders in total

[@DonneDiscordia]

is there plans for the second usb out to have the same features as usb1? (virtual devices). I have all of my gear connected over the network and controlled by my main pc; where i want to move that control onto a dedicated device and having usb1 AND usb2 would benifit power users (i can't be the only one wanting a device that does this). I'm part of the small group that needs more virtual devices i suppose. i need to be able to send and control audio from multiple computers to multiple outputs, while also needing the ability to control multiple sources from those computers. or am i being silly and this is already possible with multitracking and ASIO drivers? I'm not so sure about that feature and how the rode caster handles that. The only comparasion i've been contemplating are the presonus devices but they are geared more towards music production which is way more overkill then what i'd need. everything could also be solved by making a rodecaster pro video 2 that is basically the procaster II + video combined into 1, just let me have 4k/144hz in and out and that would be an instant buy from me, and i'm sure many other power users/content creators.

[@rodemic]

We appreciate your feedback! I will pass this onto our team for their awareness 🙌

[@bigriff9946]

awesome news… i would love to have a separate pad (bluetooth) for sound effects. would be so nice to have easy access (stream deck size/style)

[@rodemic]

We'll pass this suggestion on to the team!

[@emile__t]

Ohhh nice ! Does is it possible to have a minus one channel for each of this virtual channel ? For a case of the recording of a podcast with multiple distant guest (with each guest on a fader) A possibility to have the virtual channels (or some of them) on the USB2 port will be good too (or any possibility to have several audios channels on USB2).

[@rodemic]

If you are referring to splitting each guest into their own fader, you will need to have them on separate software applications, unless the communications app you are using allows you to split each guest directly through the app. Hope this clarifies and we appreciate your suggestion 🙌

[@emile__t]

@@rodemic Yes of course, with this configuration it will one guest (one call or one communication software) by virtual channel.

[@the_real_nicdafish]

Okay not sure if I am just missing something or not but awesome job…. Except missing one thing like every other virtual device misses. I want to control each one separately on my rode caster, which works perfectly…. But I can’t assign that same game channel to a separate channel for OBS? This is the part that I feel like is being missed. Most people don’t want to mix it on their ride and then lose all ability to do post editing. We want OBS to mix it like normal but have the easy of adjusting it from out rode caster. Unless I am missing something I have to still use the old way of rebalancing everything and hoping it is good because I can’t see an output of the game channel or music or so on. Let me know if I’m missing something though!

[@rodemic]

You can try to create an 'Audio Output Capture' source and select your desired virtual channel 😊 if you require any assistance regarding your setup however, our Support Team are always happy to help - help.rode.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

[@tripxcz]

@@rodemic Virtual device functions are only outputs to RCP2, not inputs to OBS. We need to control the outputs from OBS using faders. The 'Audio Output Capture' function in OBS does not allow this. Please ask Rode for a new virtual device driver that will allow this. Thank you for all what they need.

So this features only work on Windows, not MAC?

[@rodemic]

For windows only at this stage, but this will be implemented to MacOS soon!

[@Fresheys]

[@thejeremydavis]

Super cool and all, but when are we going to see an automatic power-on with smart devices? My entire studio can be controlled by voice or stream deck, but the RCP2 is the only hardware item I need to manually turn on each time. Please

[@rodemic]

Great suggestion! I'll be sure to pass this on to our development team 😊

[@crobb]

This is nifty, but I've really been waiting for Virtual Inputs for sending custom mixes back into the PC. I know we have USB1, USB2 and USB1chat, but I was hoping for Virtual 1, 2, 3, etc. Looks like I can setup a mix on one of the headphones and cable that into Combo 4 , since the combo jacks show up as input devices if you enable USB1 multitrack. But then that mix would be mono. Is that my best bet?

[@SgtPhroste]

agreed...this is something the GoXLR had out of the box with a single USB input...how can we not get this with the RCP2 with multiple USB connections

[@rodemic]

While this method wouldn't be recommended (this can cause you to receive internal feedback from the unit), we appreciate your suggestion and we'll definitely pass this on to the team for their consideration and awareness 😊

[@wiredearth9034]

Rode, i have some input on your update, as much as this as greatly expanded fader capabilities with audio from applications, there is still a critical flaw that is keeping the Roadcaster pro 2 from being the go to for streaming, specifically on OBS, we need the ability to have a minimum of 4 different audio input sources such as the 3 we already have (USB1, USB1-chat and USB2) simply by adding one more of these would greatly increase the versatility of the Pro 2, allowing users to set 4 different audio tracks, each individually can be tuned with custom VST plugins and other OBS specific settings, WHILE being able to control the sound levels going into OBS with the Rodecasters Faders. as a streamer the way most audio is ideally separated into tracks is Game-PC/microphone-/discord/music, the Pro 2 is just under slightly under the threshold for these needs. but none the less this update is a step in the right direction. and hope to see more soon, please take note of this.

[@rodemic]

Thanks for your feedback, we'll pass it on to the team!

[@martyn]

YAY!!! I'm so close to buying this now. Does the device do VoiceFX at all? (Reverb, pitch shift, autotune, those kinds of things)

I just saw you released this feature, is there anyway we can get additional virtual channels available? For example I use my Duo for me and my wife and I still want her mic routed to her USB output, but I don't need it as an active channel on the Duo showing output other than virtual. I'd love to get more virtual channels. Can we also get what the USB Multitrack Output options are and are used for?

[@rodemic]

The RØDECaster Pro II's preamps are actually already Ultra low-noise and do a great job! But if you'd like to connect this product to the RØDECaster, by having a quick look it looks like all you will need to do is connect the OUT XLR input into the RØDECaster, and you should be good to go 😊 I'd recommend confirming with Morley before purchasing however, just to be sure!

I’d really appreciate any advice you could give me. Thanks so much in advance!

[@TheRailStooge]

@ I was curious how to switch between the two easily so you can do a quick check. Is there a way?

[@Trinode]

I don’t understand the need for a driver? You could simulate many usb devices via a single connection (like a hub) and just act as if there are multiple sound devices connected. And you could show and hide the virtual devices by simulating them being plugged in and unplugged. Is this going to need a driver for Mac too? I’m assuming so if Mac support is coming soon. That probably means we’ll be waiting on upgrading OS for rode drivers, tell me I’m wrong and it’ll be plug and play on Mac using the built in drivers

Is this ONLY for the Rodecaster Pro II, or can I use this on my original Rodecaster Pro?

[@rodemic]

Just for the RØDECaster Pro II and Duo.

Hi, I assigned some windows apps like different internet browsers to the virtual devices and then added those as new sound output sources into my OBS scene. The issue is that whatever setting I choose at USB 1 Output - pre-fader or post-fader, the audio keeps "flowing" at full volume into OBS and ignores the position of the physical fader. Any help is appreciated, thank you very much.

[@rodemic]

Sorry to hear that! For this, you will need to select post-fader, but if the issue still persists as you are describing I'd recommend contacting Support and providing your feedback through the link in the description of this video!

[@servothun8549]

​@@rodemic Thank you very much. Do I need to add the virtual devices as Global Audio Devices in OBS or can I also add them as Audio output capture in my OBS Sources tab as well? Because Global audio devices only allow me to pick the virtual channels within the first two Desktop Audio and Desktop Audio 2 options. The audio volume still does not react to the position of physical faders whatsover even when using post-fader option on the device itself. Can you please confirm that the virtual faders are suitable for my specific use case which is: 1. Set the output audio of a specific app (Firefox browser) within Windows to the virtual device A 2. Set the virtual device A to the physical fader #1 3. Route this fader through USB 1 Main interface to a PC 4. Add the virtual device A as a source into OBS 5. Control the volume of this virtual device A with the physical fader #1 while monitoring its volume visually on OBS audio mixer dock Thank you very much for anyone's advice.

Great Update!...Where can one get those shirt? 🤔🤔🤔

[@rodemic]

Oh you saw that, huh? 😏

[@davidbyourplanb]

Woah! Awesome

[@mr.grotto]

Would be cool if we could actually sign up for the rodecaster beta program. As of writing, you CANNOT click submit on the page for the program.

[@haies09]

Public release now, check for update

[@mr.grotto]

@haies09 got it sorted out. A lot of the guides said you needed to be part of the beta, but we were able to just update it as you mentioned.

[@haroonqraja]

Are these coming to the Streamer X anytime soon?

[@rodemic]

This update is only for our RØDECaster Pro II and Duo

[@haroonqraja]

@@rodemic I understand that. I'd like to know if this feature will also be landing on the Streamer X.

[@YayDanMan]

​@haroonqraja uh Streamer X has done similar to this since day 1 when used with Unify

[@blakepace]

I only wish it would work on my original RodeCaster Pro as well as my RodeCaster Pro II. Oh well, this is why the Two was built differently I guess. The good news is, my Original still does what I bought it for, so I can dedicate it to that scenario while using my Pro II streaming.

[@RafaelBarcelo]

So this doesn't work on Mac?

[@SHAKA-NEU-LU]

It doesn’t look like it will because of drivers

[@rodemic]

Not at this stage, but we are working on it - it is coming!

[@jbe1official]

@@rodemicBruh 🤦🏾‍♂️ SMH

[@wayneknetter]

I need it on the iPad as well please. Running Switcher Studio and background music

[@ayebrian]

It's Mac that is complicated when it comes to drivers. That's why sometimes its better to be using windows over Mac

[@meifooinus]

I've got the beta firmware, but where do I d/l the beta driver, and rode central? Thanks.

[@rodemic]

All contents should have present in the email - If there are any issues, feel free to contact Support and they can look into this further! help.rode.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

[@stik_mane]

Was wondering is it possible to connect the rodecaster duo directly to a ps5 with out it getting distorted?

[@rodemic]

It's not directly compatible with console devices via USB. Your best bet would be to feed the audio signal from the controller and into the RØDECaster Duo's combo jack input 😊

[@gaips]

When are we getting the Røde Streamer X8 (8x 4k HDMI inputs)?

[@OehrchenTV]

Do we also have virtual input devices on Windows? For example I could like to keep those audio tracks split when I feed them into my OBS for multitrack recording.

[@rodemic]

The virtual channels are only designed to output software applications to individual faders 😊

[@OehrchenTV]

@@rodemic ah okay. So I would do my multi track audio recording on the rode caster itself to handle it?

[@king-jf5om]

Great...must have one

[@LaloRacer1]

LETS GOO

[@mathewzahedi248]

This might making me buy one and replace my old yamaha mixer

[@Renji04]

There's something I don't understand about this new feature. When I add virtual channels, why is it impossible to play multiple audio from different applications at the same time on the same source? Let's imagine I'm watching this video KZbin on the system input channel, but at the same time I want to listen to an audio on WhatsApp on the same input. Have I set something up wrong?

[@rodemic]

Hey Renji, our team would be happy to have a look at your setup and assist you 😊 feel free to reach out to them through here - help.rode.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

[@Renji04]

@@rodemic Hey, thanks for the answer, I have already sent a ticket 3 weeks ago but no news

[@unquestionabletv]

Does this mean we could also do ducking on all four inputs instead of just the first? I want to duck USB audio for when anyone speaks.

[@rodemic]

Ducking will only apply to Mic 1

[@unquestionabletv]

@ anyway to submit a feature request so allow it to duck on designated inputs instead? I’d want USB or virtual fader to duck under multiple inputs.

[@wreckitrod]

did we get virtual inputs on both usb's if we have dual pc setup?

[@rodemic]

Virtual Devices or on USB1 only.

[@Ron0x]

Ok, I have the weird thing now that I got a new Rodecaster Pro 2 and not being able to get the virtual devices. I actually installed the Beta 1.4.4. I installed the virtual drivers on Windows. I put the multitrack on Extended. Connected the Rodecaster Pro 2 to the PC. And no virtual devices showing up in Windows or on the Rodecaster Pro 2. What am I suddenly doing wrong here? On the old Rodecaster Pro 2 where I had beta 1.4.3 I had no problems at all. But have a new streaming PC and a new Rodecaster with the beta 1.4.4, and suddenly it's not working anymore.

[@rodemic]

Sorry to hear that you are running into issues with your RØDECaster Pro II! Please contact our Support Team and they will be able to look into this further for you - help.rode.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

[@NiegelDK]

Does it work on Mac as well or only Windows? Can it be used with Ableton or other recording software ?

[@rodemic]

Only Windows at this stage, though Mac compatibility is coming soon! You can definitely assign any DAW to the Virtual Channels, including Ableton!

[@Lochlens]

Let’s really appreciate the fact that these guys and girls are always listening to the feedback from the users. Great Update here!
